[HamWAN PSDR] New - not connecting Tiger Mtn

Sat Sep 11 22:54:14 PDT 2021

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I can verify that S3.ETiger is 
running and has 5 clients connected to it.  I suspect you might be 
aiming at the towers on west tiger (47.508761°, -121.984954°) and 
(47.504856°, -121.971615°) whereas the HamWAN site is on east tiger 
(47.488172°, -121.946733°).  From your picture, you should see a 3rd 
tower or cluster of towers further towards the right, if that is the 
case.  Google Earth is a good tool to get a sense of the visuals, since 
it lets you tilt the world.
